miles found the crosswalk button was silent today at this intersection, but she says yesterday was different. yesterday was the first day that that when you press the thing, you got mark zuckerberg. and i don't know what that was about. she quickly thought the voice claiming to be mark zuckerberg was ai, but wasn't sure what to make of it. what did you hear? how he was saying that this is okay to have ai. we're going to have it anyway. something like that. hi, this is mark zuckerberg, but real ones call me the zuck. this video was posted on social media, and so was another video from palo alto that appeared to imitate another voice. hi, this is elon musk. welcome to palo alto, the home of tesla engineering. you know, they say money can't buy happiness. the city of palo alto says saturday morning, a city employee noted the voice announcement feature on the crosswalk at university and high street wasn't working properly.

the city later found that 12 downtown intersections were also malfunctioning and may have been tampered with. on friday, a city official says the city has disabled the audible feature until further repairs can be made. they say other traffic signals around the city were checked and the impact was isolated. signal operations were otherwise not affected. we also reached out to the city of menlo park, where other videos of tampered signals were taken and have yet to hear back. a bay area tech expert believes it's ai generated audio and something municipalities will be closely watching moving forward. i think this is going to be some kind of a wake up call for the cities to make sure that they don't rely on the fact that this is something nobody will do it. and there's another side to consider. it's risky for people, you know, who want to cross the street. you know, you never know how many people are going to be distracted. it's not clear who's behind the apparent hack or what the consequences might be if

they're caught. does it surprise you that that would happen? yeah. in palo alto, christie smith, nbc bay area news. in berkeley, one person is in critical condition after an officer-involved shooting early this morning, just before seven police got multiple calls about a woman screaming for help inside a home on university avenue near magee avenue. when officers arrived, they made contact with the person inside who threatened to shoot officers. that person also left an apartment armed with a gun, then went back inside. officers secured the area and began negotiating with the person when they came out again with the gun. officers opened fire, shooting them. they're in the hospital in critical condition. no one else was hurt. protesters are fighting to make a busy oakland intersection safer for pedestrians. it comes after a beloved uc berkeley professor was hit and killed while crossing the street back in february. sociology professor michael brauer was killed in a crosswalk on grand avenue near the park view terrace. that's near lake merritt this afternoon. dozens of

clear skies. rob mayeda. here to talk about, you know, a day like this, you can do anything outside. really? it was really nice. we had 70s and 80s around our inland areas, but the fog kind of sticking around on the coast overall, looking a bit more and feeling more like june outside. we've got one more day, just like today, tomorrow, but some changes ahead and it could get a little interesting as we head towards the middle part of the week. right now, there's another view of the sunny skies in san jose. one more day of summer like temperatures. then a cool down arrives and there is a slight chance we may see a few isolated showers and even sierra snow. we'll explain that coming up in just a minute. right now, let's give you a tour of the temperatures around the bay area. still 79 degrees in san jose, 83 in walnut creek. also did see 80 around san rafael into the north bay this afternoon, hanging on to 80 degrees here after 5:00. and san francisco, now 64 degrees earlier, climbing to 72. so everybody warming up today. and an interesting spread of temperatures that is very

similar to temperatures that you see during the summer of these 50s and 60s entrenched on the coast, 70s 80s inland. and the wind tells the story a clash of some offshore wind, which typically warms things up and dries things out. but here comes that persistent sea breeze right around the golden gate there and through the san bruno gap, keeping things around the peninsula and san francisco. cool. now, heading into tomorrow morning, we'll see the low clouds spilling back across the inner bay. may have some local drizzle at times, then back into the sunshine inland heading towards tomorrow afternoon. so mostly mid 50s to start things off tomorrow morning. by lunchtime inland upper 70s could be in reach and highs tomorrow low to mid 80s possible out towards the east bay valleys and areas south of san jose. but as we've been talking about cooler changes tuesday into wednesday now, highs dropping into the upper 60s and low 70s. and look at this increasing clouds coming up out of the south. there's a chance isolated showers could evolve out of this at times as we go through tuesday. notice here on the rain map, these

little tiny pockets here in blue, indicating the very isolated nature of those scattered showers. more interesting, though, is the air that's off to our east will be cold enough that we could see some sierra snow showers at times. if your travel plans include the sierra thursday into friday, look at that as we possibly wrap up the last ski weekend for many sierra ski resorts. a little more snow coming in towards the end of the week. good news though, for next weekend it does look like we'll get some clearing and warming arriving just in time for next weekend. so a warm start to the workweek, then tuesday through thursday. slight chance of isolated showers. could see a little more snow at times around the sierra. that would be on thursday and friday. overall though, good timing. we'll see more warming and clearing skies setting up just in time for next weekend. perfect. thanks, rob. okay, viva, cal is back. we're going ttake you to the big south bay celebration on wheels. plus celebrating all things cannabis. how some dispensaries are looking to boost sales ahead
